A Video of a Red Tailed Hawk Where a Man Throws an Object At It

The other day, I was watching some hawk videos just as I do every night. Then I came across of a video of a Red Tailed hawk that came very close to a man that was filming it. I put a “like” on the video and made this comment:

“You scared that Red Tailed hawk away, and it seems like you tried very hard doing it too. Apparently, there’s something in that pond you don’t want that hawk to capture. You won’t be able to prevent all hawk attacks, because they can strike at any time of the day.”

The man, which will forever remain anonymous, then replied:

“JeremyThePlayer88 He comes around everyday and I love seeing him but he keeps killing the birds at the feeders and some fish. He is a beautiful bird and not scared of me, that’s for sure.”

Once he said that, I rewatched the video, and I noticed something right at the end where after he shouts at the hawk multiple times before he throws an object at it. I decided to reply with this statement:

“Gee, at 0:XX you threw an object of what I think is a rock at the hawk. Its a good thing I’m not the sensitive type because other people might consider this animal cruelty”.

That comment actually caused the owner to delete the video. Apparently, this guy feels very guilty over what he did. The only reason why he deleted it because he’s afraid someone will flag the video over animal cruelty. Also, to tell you the truth, he doesn’t want to admit that he wants to harm that hawk. In fact, I did see the stone actually hitting the hawk, and if it had poked a hole in its wings, then it would no longer be able to fly. It would then die a slow painful death from starvation since if it can’t fly then it can’t hunt either. You might as well shoot at it with a gun, it’ll be quicker and less painful that way. This hawk didn’t mind the man getting close. In fact, it was so determined to stay near him that I’m sure he could have pet the hawk if he wanted to. But NOOOOOOOOOO! He decided to throw a rock at it. Also, in his comment, he used a poor choice of words, he said “he keeps killing the birds and fish”. How could one hawk possibly kill that many animals. Also, a Red Tailed hawk doesn’t hunt for fish, because it’s not part of its diet. Only Red Shouldered hawks hunt for fish. I’ve only seen less than 10 videos of Red Shouldered hawks hunting for fish out of the more than 1,000 hawk videos I’ve seen on YouTube. I have watched over a dozen videos per day on hawks and seeing a Red Shouldered hawk hunting for fish is so rare that you might as well say that it never happens! If a Red Tailed hawk is in fact hunting for the man’s fish, then it is most like Spunky the hawk, which is a very famous Red Tailed hawk was raised by Bald Eagles. Other than that, the only raptors this man will find hunting for fish is an eagle or an osprey. Now, there is the possibility that this hawk is starving and is simply finding other ways to survive. If that’s the case, this hawk won’t survive through another Winter. My recommendation is this, in order for him to protect his fish he needs to buy an enclosure for the pond. If he truly cares about his pets, then he shouldn’t mind spending some extra money to take good care of them. Also, he should buy a seed feeder that’s enclosed, that way only small birds like sparrows get fit inside but large birds like hawks can’t. Instead, he’s throwing rocks at the hawk and making a fissy fit when things don’t go his way. The biggest problem is that if he’s going to continue to throw rocks at the hawk, one day a rock might just poke through the hawk’s wings. Then, you might as well say goodbye because it won’t be able to fly anymore and then it’ll starve to death because it can no longer hunt. Also, if he continues to throw rocks, this hawk will no longer trust humans and will stay as far away from them as possible. That means I won’t get the chance to get close to this hawk either because it is too afraid of everybody, including a hawk watcher like myself. There’s a place called hell for people like him. He’s ruining things so that hawks are more fearful of humans. Falconers are trying to help hawks by training how to hunt properly, but this guy is doing the exact opposite. So thanks for nothing jerk! Why is it that so many sparrows, chickadees and blue jays feed from peoples’ hands but crows, hawks, and eagles never do? Here’s why. Chickadees are seed-eating birds so they rely on us for their survival during the Winter when seeds are scarce in the wild. Nobody wants to put out a piece of raw meat for a Red Tailed hawk, because most people don’t want to touch that kind of stuff. Okay, I’ll admit it, I don’t either. Maybe there’s a possibility a hawk might settle for a chicken roast. Other than that, I’d rather just see a wild hawk hunt and once I become a falconer only then will I decide on the raw meat selection in order for me to train it better.

Here’s a lovely note, it is impossible to save all wildlife. American crows are shot and killed every day because they are simply a nuisance bird and destroy crops. Also, European starlings are killed because they gather in flocks and make too much noise and they shit on everything. However, at least other birds can be saved, especially Red Tailed hawks because they actually get rid of rodents such as rats. Nature has a balance, and you have to make sure you let nature take its course. If this man can’t afford to buy an enclosure for his fish or buy a bird feeder that is hawk-proof, then THAT’S HIS FUCKING PROBLEM! OKAY! He needs to stop being a shithead and start realizing that some animals have a meaning and true purpose in our world. When his time on Earth is over, he’s going straight to hell! He will continue to throw rocks at that hawk. I just know it. That’s okay, I’ve done my share of harming birds too, here’s a video of me putting mixing bleach and wood cleaner with cupcakes when it was very late at night. Then I put it outside on a tree branch, that way lots of warblers would die, which would make me very happy! After I woke up the next morning though, I then realized what I did was wrong and cleaned up the uneaten cupcakes. I used to have it up on YouTube but then a hacker got into my JeremyTheViewHacker channel and deleted all my videos on there.

Here’s a description of the video:

“I hate these Yellow-Rumped Warblers now. They’ve just seen too much. Poisoning and killing them with this stuff is the only way I can relieve my depression. Once these birds are gone, they’ll be no birds left to enjoy the icing. Ha, take that! Every bird that hasn’t eaten the icing can enjoy their lives.

My mom says that the icing is not good for them and it causes problems in the wild. They have too much sugar in them. My mom also thinks if they eat more and more icing, there will be more droppings. I am tired of arguing with her. People are allowed to feed them bread, bagels, and donuts, but they can’t feed them cupcakes? It makes no sense.

In part 2, I swear, I’m going to go back the forest, grab those dead birds, then, I’m going to throw them at the house, and stuff icing in their beaks. Wait a second, let me take it one step further. I’m going to just hide the icing in their beaks, then see if any of the birds that are still alive eat that. Once my mom sees that, she’ll go, “Yeeeeh, the birds are gone.” My grandma thinks that she’ll say that too. That’ll give me a good reason to stop feeding them cupcakes.

Oh and as for the date of this video, I recorded it at 12:28 am on February 21, 2012.”

Enjoy!

Is Falconry About More Than Just Hunting?

Every night on YouTube is just like any other…well up until now! I found out there is a type of falconry activity called “Bird Abating”. There was one video out of the 1,000 videos that I watched that had this activity mentioned, but I never knew the exact word for it. Bird abating is when a falconer trains a raptor to scare away pest birds. This can be useful in farming communities where flocks of crows or blackbirds can eat all the crops. Obviously, this ends up to problems for these farmers because less crops are harvested at the end of the season. Sometimes, new crops can’t grow because the soil is destroyed from the fallen or dried up crops. So, instead of using pesticides on the crops, which is harmful to all wildlife, a natural method is used where falconers train their raptors to chase these birds away. Now, the only downside to using a falcon or hawk to scare away other birds is that they are no longer hunting for prey! Obviously in the wild, these birds of prey survive only on the prey they catch, so it is assumed that these birds will never be released and are used in captivity for their whole lives! To me, this is a problem because NO bird of prey should be kept forever. They are meant to be free and open in the wild, NOT chained up when they are done for the day. Many falconers who train their raptors to hunt only keep them for several months before releasing them in the wild. They also assist their raptors making their catches easier to kill by using a knife to finish the job. This way the raptor doesn’t injure its wings while it tries to stabilize its prey and prevent it from escaping. I’ve actually seen videos of hawks losing battles to prey right at the end. The prey is already bleeding and ends up escaping out of the raptor’s talons, and sometimes, they die a slow painful death hours later then some vulture feasts on it the next day. Nature is cruel sometimes, but that’s part of life! You know what’s even worse, if the prey escapes, then the raptor has no meal. What if it continues to fail hunting time and time again until it finally starves to death? Well, apparently, hunting with hawks is considered illegal for falconers because it is consider cruel and inhumane. Here’s something even crazier, these inexperienced raptors are all alone and so many of these raptors die all because no-one wants to learn how to help them! Here in New Jersey, there is a hawk-watching area and according to a website, only 10% of these raptors return home after the Winter is over! Talk about a population annihilation! Now, YOU tell me how cruel nature is! I DARE YOU TO!!! I’m sick of seeing such statistics showing up. I’m OBSESSED with watching hawks, and one day I’m going to be hunting with them and I’m NOT going to let history repeat itself! There needs to be a time where at least half of these raptors can return to their nest, rather than 10%. I’m surprised hawks, eagles, and falcons aren’t extinct yet, seriously! Things would be WAYYYY worse if nobody trained their birds of prey to hunt! Also, if some falconers are using their raptors to chase birds away, why are SO MANY raptors in the wild being chased by smaller birds such as crows and mockingbirds? Also, these raptors are just STANDING there ignoring them and they are not even attacking them back. Eventually the raptors just fly away and get attacked elsewhere! I’m NEVER EVER seen a wild hawk chase birds deliberately, unless their nest is being intruded upon! So, I’m a little baffled that any falconer would use bird abating instead of hunting. I guess falconers have been doing everything wrong for thousands of years. They are all undeserving fools who only want to kill living things. It says in the bible, “Thou shalt not kill”, but that’s apparently what’s going on in the wild too.

So here’s a few questions for you to stretch your knowledge upon, can you change natural selection? No! Can you change a hawk’s diet? NO! Lastly, can you hunt with hawks so that they can be stronger in the wild and prevent them from starving and then dying?” NO, because it is inhumane to hunt and watch prey be eaten.

You might not be able to change a hawk’s diet, but let me tell you, a hawk’s gotta survive somehow. After I looked through all the 1,000 videos that I liked on my YouTube page, I found the very first video I saw of a hawk. It is ULTRA RARE footage of a Red Tailed hawk eating bread in Philly, which is about 28 miles away from where I live.

After watching that, THAT’S when I starting getting obsessed into hawks. So, I searched for more hawks eating bread! This video was taken after a Red-Shouldered hawk almost snatched a crow in mid-air but the crow dropped the bread.

Want more? Well, I have a playlist of 3 other videos of hawks eating bread. If you can find a 6th video if a hawk eating bread, please let me know! Haha, good luck, because I guarantee you won’t find another. Less than 1% of the time will they be not be eating live prey or carrion. Now, enough of the silly talk! The reason why I decided to continue to find any hawk related videos is because a lot of them are accustomed to living in urban areas, and that’s where I can see more exciting footage. A lot of times, they’ll eat their prey 5 feet away from people that are walking by. Here’s something fun and exciting that I liked recently, a hawk mating while eating at the SAME time! Check this one out.

So, as you can see, I have no preference over what a hawk is doing in a video, as long as its hawk related, I’m watching it. The keywords I am always searching for on YouTube are “hawks”, “Red Tailed hawk”, “Cooper’s Hawks”, “Red Shouldered hawks”, and more recently “Falconry” and “birds of prey”. I never deviate from those search terms and I place “likes” on every video that’s hawk related.

As for me becoming a falconer, it can’t seem to happen soon enough. I still live with my grandma, plus I live in difficult times because I’ve spent at least at least $8,000 promoting my online business. I also spent another $10,000 on Neobux (boy was that a big mistake), and lost about $1,500 in a pump and dump stock. I’m still trying to promote my two traffic exchange websites every night, plus I’m entering contests on pch.com. On top of all that, I still work at a day job at Sears. So, I’m completely booked and will continue to be for a long time! I have nothing to look forward to. Ever since my cat died, I’ve been longing for another friend. The other cat my grandma has is afraid of me and runs away when I try to pet her unless she’s on the sofa. I feel like I really need a hawk friend (a Red Tailed hawk to be exact). Who am I kidding though. It’ll never happen! Maybe in a new life I’ll get one! I do want to teach my future hawk how to hunt, but since that is inhumane, I’m not allowed to. So my hopes and dreams of becoming a falconer are all officially dashed, and it’s my obsession of watching hawks eat that has caused this to fall apart.

In the meantime, I’ll try to watch more videos of hawks eating their prey. I enjoy watching hawks tearing about the prey’s skin limb from limb. It puts a smile on my face and gets rid of the stress that I get during a hard day’s word!

Here’s one you’ll absolutely LOVE! I’d love to do something like this if I invested in real estate and bought some condominiums that I can rent out to people. Then someone suddenly had a rat problem and they realized that their landlord (me) would be a falconer!

So remember, you can’t change a hawk’s eating habits, but its a real shame I’m not allowed to hunt with a hawk because someone falconer on YOUTUBE told me it’s wrong!

Here’s a video of a Red Tailed hawk eating a baby groundhog. I show no remorse for the groundhog, and I could care less about its prey being a baby. The hawk doesn’t pick on its prey. It just happened that was the easiest prey to hunt for at the moment. Who knows, it may fail at hunting dozens of animals because it can successfully catch another.

Keep this in mind! Next time you see a hawk in your backyard or park or anywhere else and you see a hawk eating its prized catch, keep this in mind…

THIS MAY BE THE HAWK’S LAST MEAL!!! Yep, that’s right, its life ends with that meal. It may continue to fail to catch its prey dozens of times before it uses up all its energy and totally starves to death. Then you’ll see a dead hawk in your backyard. How lovely!

Got Caught With a $100 Ticket

Well, unfortunately, I got a $100 fine for staying at a park too late. I won’t disclose the name of this park, but it is a state park, and once it closes at a certain time they do close the gates. I accidentally misjudged the time I was staying on the hiking trail, and because of this mistake, I paid the price. The state park official actually warned me last time when the park closed at 7 pm a few weeks back when I stayed until 9 pm. Now, they recently changed the hours to 6 pm and it was 7:15 when I left. I do believe this ticket was unfair, but say what you will! I was warned, of course, but it really makes no sense that they would not allow people to hike. Heck, people camp in the woods, why can’t I hike? That’s all I was doing, just hiking! Also, I have seen bike riders a half-hour past closing. I left at around 6:15 and there were still hikers around near the parking lot. I kid you not! All I got to say is, they only picked on me because I was later than everyone else, even though most of the people well before I did.

In response to this ticket, I will just suffer the consequences and pay the fine. In addition, I will rip up the map to the park in a million pieces and delete the address from my car’s navigation system. I do NOT want to see or hear the name of that park ever again. I didn’t even have to go to this park. I did it only to explore things a little bit and get some exercise. It took me 2 and a half hours to drive to this stupid piece of shit park, so the amount of time wasted driving there isn’t even worth staying if I have to constantly worry about leaving at a certain time. I feel like everyone’s out to get me. One of these days, I’ll get a ticket for driving too slow on the highway, but I’ll make sure I get a good lawyer on my side if that happens. Next time I go hiking, I’ll just go to the local park here in Bordentown. The trail is very small, so I’ll just run around a few times to get my weekly exercise, then I’m done. It’ll save me the time and aggravation of driving countless hours to go to a bigger park that has the same features.

This is my first post since I transferred my old blogs on here, which was previously on my Windows Live account. As of 3/14/2011 I will be posting all of my new blogs on here now. For those that want to comment, you can do so at the link at the bottom of each post. Please provide your website too and I will gladly take a look at it. If the content is relevant to the material posted on this blog, I will consider it and possibly post a link to it on my profile. If you get a chance to read any of my older blogs, you should. A lot happened to me in the past and that’s when I really got into blogging. I may not blog so much right now as I did in the past, since I am taking tougher college courses. Maybe I’ll let everyone know what’s going on from time to time.

Star Trek (just came out)

Posted on

I really liked the new Star Trek movie. My dad and I watched it on DVD last night. It was definitely what I consider a great movie. Lots of space things we don’t understand, sometimes things that are hard to comprehend at the present. We see it all in future perspective. Let’s see…I was introduced to the character Spock, another character whom fell into a black hole and returned in the future, whom met himself later as a captain on his ship. Also there is the young character who graduated from school and just begins his career in this movie. Lastly he was shown being banned from coming onto the Enterprise, but decided it was his destiny to become captain on board.

I didn’t think I would like the movie good enough that I would decide to blog it on here. Granted I’ve never watched the Star Trek episodes but when it comes to the new Star Trek movie, Star Trek is REALLY good. This movie is definitely good for those who haven’t seen Star Trek before AND…it’s a MUST see!

Get the DVD now.

My Journey in NJ

Posted on

In late May I had to move to NJ thinking my mom was going to rent out an apartment. But let’s just say we have family issues right now and had to move back. I was at my grandparents at the time all this stupid youtube weird stuff happened. Am I just unlucky or does this always keep happening to me? Well I’m sick of it you know. I told all my youtube friends about the Dolfan1997 thing. Also I’m sick of Xazuross, one of my subscriptions, using his channel as beta, FOR THE SECOND TIME. I fell for beta the first time and I’m NOT falling for it again. He will, and nor will anyone else now, forever, or into the future, force me into Beta design. Beta is ugly and it’s stupid. I hope all the stupid people using beta die some horrible death. I mean a death involving lots of hate comments.

 

Okay I think I’m repeating myself on topics I’ve discussed already below\\\\\\\\. Overall I liked being at NJ but it’s good to join my friends here at home. I like it here and I’ll be going back to my old college here. I’m still majoring in Computer Science, nothings changed. I plan on pursueing a career in Microsoft someday and eventually move up making millions of dollars. Whenever I say “will”….it happens. I know I’ll progress and be successful. Well, one thing’s for sure, when you see me in real life, you’ll be needing my assistance to fix your programs, hahah. I can’t guarantee that but I don’t know how far I’m planning to go.

My “private” information

Posted on

Apparently my mom doens’t want me sharing my hometown or the place where I work on youtube. SO, here’s what she does, she just goes in and hacks my account and changes it to private, without her telling me. As a future Microsoft employee, this is not what I want. I don’t want people telling me what to do. I’m fucking 20 years old. I don’t want fucking people telling ME what to fucking do. My mom thinks it’s best for me. I’m one of the only people they think it’s not a game. Like youtube is real life and people can look up my information to get more about me. No, and I don’t care. Truly it would be better for me if I made some copyright infridged videos and put them onto youtube, which would get my stupid account suspended, then having my mom put the word “private” on my hometown and “private” on the place I work. It’s stupid. I won’t be coming back on youtube. I just can’t handle this. Youtube is stupid, then why do they offer the information? Huh, huh, why? They obviously don’t offer an address bar or anything like that. I didn’t put my name on youtube. So why on Earth does my mom have to put that in. Just leave it fucking blank then. Don’t put the stupid word “private” in there. I could have explained it to her but I felt like being a dumbass today.

I’m just really mad right now!

What happened last night is going to shock you

Posted on

When I was working at the BX one night, apparently a janitor was listening on a conversation on two punks on the street. One was saying to the other, “Hey I should bomb this place tommorrow.” It went something like that. He told the supervisor up front and she immediately called the police. Now obviously as much as this may have been a joke, it wasn’t. And just minutes later the bomb squad, DOD’s, and MP’s scattered the building. The store was already closed so all the employees had to stay longer. From 8:25 to “who knows how long” we were staying outside in front of the parking lot. We had to move to the other side, just in case there was already a bomb we would be in the exploding distance. There wasn’t but I think they caught the guy. He was excaping on a bicycle and was at the shoppette/gas station. The janitor informed the police and filled out the paperwork. Everyone was paid past their shift. We had to stay and we got what the lady next to me said (she thought we wasn’t going to be paid for this), mandatory stay, mandatory pay. The only thing I can say about this. Everyone was cheering when it was finally over and we could go home. The girls next to me were wondering when we would go home. One of the girls felt like just telling the officer the locker combination and getting her stuff for her. Yeah, of course, she along with everyone else.  She even said she won’t be using a locker anymore. She said she’ll just bring all her sh– with her. Anyways that’s about it. I waited in the back parking lot for my mom to pick me up. She couldn’t come before because there were cop cars blocking the road. Finally at 10:30 they were done searching the place. The bomb squad dressed up and went inside, it took just a half hour just for them to get ready,  just in case there really was a bomb inside. I mean, gosh, it would have already gone off at that point. Well, the janitor said it so we had to take precautions. Everybody’s saying like, “Oh there hasn’t been a situation like this in a long time, I bet the base is going to go on lockdown now.” Well since the police caught the guy last night we don’t have anything to worry about when we go to work today.

A girl and youtube

Posted on

When does surfing the internet becoming fun. Sometimes if you meet up with the wrong people, it can’t. However a specific girl, I’m not mentioning her to protect names,  but anyways, this girl was just an ordinary girl. Until…it happened. I saw a comment on a 12-year old kid’s page and after commenting back on her’s, because it looked interesting, I recieved a comment on my channel. Just two simple words. Again, I’m not mentioning the comment for her sake. I liked that comment and I explained what my comment blogs were about. She deleted the comments. After that all was pretty silent. She talked about a tv show she liked to watch in her About ME tab. She changed topics a few times and starting pasting ramdom facts telling people it will make that person fall in love, or something like that. That wasn’t all bad though, but she was a comment spammer I think with her 1, 2, 3,4 step stuff. What, it never even changed the background. I haven’t copyed and pasted that stuff but I know it’s all crap. It just stupid spam that’s all I can say. Well, okay, so far so good, right? Wrong!

2 weeks later:

I went in to check to see if anyone new commented on my channel, when I used Firefox (which isn’t on Protected Mode), rather than Internet Explorer, to view my profile, I saw….

I’m not allowed to say, but it was

very GrApHiC (if ya know what I mean). Let’s just say she got a lot of channel views because of this pic. Eventually it made it’s way to Internet Exployer and I was told about this from my grandma who saw her explicit picture and my mom came in my room and immediately removed the comment and blocked her. I didn’t report her or anything like that about a but a month later on I did tell my friend KC on youtube about it. Even though he could have reported her, he didn’t want to because he felt that she didn’t know what she was doing. She must have realized it sooner or later and started her own adult-oriented youtube site.

1 1/2 months later:

I typed in her youtube site, www.youtube.com/chick59344 and suddenly a ghostly white page appeared, This account is closed. That’s what I saw when I saw the empty pic, removed for the second time. A few days from this her explicit background was removed too. I never would have known, but you’ve got to know…it’s hard being a teenager, I know, people have their problems. But we need to just take it in, some other way helps too. We don’t have to force ourselves into relationships, it JUST DOesn’t work. I felt terrible for the stress this girl had and I think she’s a winner. She isn’t strange, I don’t think so at all. Also, anyone who realizes that throwing a pillow at someone doesn’t work, ummm, I think they’re right!

That solves the case.

My youtube X-Beta project

Posted on September 30, 2009 by jhirzel88

Hi again, it seems I’m always getting into things. This time it’s gettin’ personal. Oh yeah. Youtube’s in for it now. Check this video out:

http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=152024

There’s a video on that link that talks all about the enforcing of the new beta channels, which I’ve used before. It sucks. It looks ugly in comparison to the original and it degrades the opportunity to post comments if the user is just scrolling through videos. The only way to even comment on the video is to click on the link at the bottom. This takes massive amounts of time to go back and reopen the beta page when going back. It isn’t even compatible with handhelds and cell phones that have internet access. And it had an error message one time I clicked on Uploads. It’s way too buggy and regardless of the fixes, it takes away from the youtube experience. Right now, I want everyone right NOW to rate the video one star and FLAG it. Flag it for nudity and send beta in the dust. This…is…ridiculous. We should not have to listen to youtube. Youtube is NOT the boss of us. We can do what we want, when we wanna. We can do anything but have youtube dictate us. I thought there was a “you” in youtube. I guess not! Tssk let’s talk about this together. We want the option, once we get it we’ll be satisfied. It’s stupid. The CEO just cares about money just like the rest. Don’t you think thousands of people that will potentially permanentally log out is worth the risk? Youtube’s taking the risk here. I don’t like it and it’s going to end now. If it happens, it’s goodbye to youtube, along with all the blank videos I’m making to protest. If they decide to make it optional, I’ll stay and make more videos.
